Pairwise sums in colourings of the reals (Q1688264)

In this paper, the authors investigate the finite colorings of the set of real numbers. They prove that for each \(k > 1\) integer and each cardinal \(\kappa < \omega_{\omega}\) there exists a finite coloring of the set \(\oplus_{\sigma < \kappa}\mathbb{Q}\) such that there does not exist an infinite subset \(X\), where all the \(k\) terms sums from \(X\) are monochromatic. On the other hand, they also show that there exists a 2-coloring of the set of real numbers such that there does not exist an uncountable set \(X\) of real numbers such that the \(k\) terms sums from \(X\), except when all the terms are equal, are monochromatic. Finally, they prove that if a countable coloring of the set of real numbers has all of its color classes with the Baire property, or measurable, then there exists an uncountable set of real numbers \(X\) such that the \(k\) terms sumset \(kX\) is monochromatic. The proofs use set theoretic tools, some of them are based on the continuum hypothesis.
